Ingram, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound redshirt freshman who also played on Florida's basketball team last season, was going to switch positions before next season. But Meyer said Ingram will work at quarterback and tight end leading up to the bowl game.

Dickey, a 5-foot-11, 205-pound junior, played quarterback his first two years at Florida before moving to receiver this fall. He caught one pass for 12 yards this season.

Both Ingram and Dickey took snaps at quarterback in the second game of the season against Louisiana Tech. Ingram ran twice for eight yards. Dickey carried once for a yard. But they have done little under center since, even in practice.

Leak and Portis got most of the work.

But Portis abruptly decided to transfer last week, citing a lack of playing time. His mother, who moved him from several high schools in California, played a major role in her son's decision.

Meyer would no talk about the transfer.

"I'd rather talk about the bowl game," he said. "At some point, I'll say something about that. Not today."

Portis played in six games this season and had mixed results. He was 6-of-11 passing for 81 yards with an interception. He also ran 29 times for 163 yards.

Portis, who initially committed to Utah before following Meyer to Gainesville, said he wanted to go where he could play.

"Even after wins, you feel sad inside because you're a great player and you want to be on the field," Portis told The Gainesville Sun. "How do you feel if someone says good game and you can't even help your team out?
